Summary

"It's never too early for children to learn to recognize feelings of anger, express them, and build skills for coping in helpful, appropriate ways. In this reassuring and supportive book, children learn that it's okay to feel angry - but not okay to hurt anyone with actions or words. They discover skills for self-calming, getting help, talking and listening, apologizing, being patient, and viewing other positively, so they can feel peaceful again. Made to be read aloud, the book includes a special section for adults, with discussion questions, activities, games and tips that reinforce these important anger management skills." - BOOK JACKET
